September TAP Webinars

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) invites you to join us for a webinar to introduce Federal Finance Facilities Available for Energy Efficiency Upgrades and Clean Energy Deployment, a new guide to the various federal financing programs for which energy efficiency and clean energy qualify. This resource is a product of a cooperative effort among seven federal agencies, including DOE, and is meant to make it easier for state, local, and tribal leaders, along with their partners in the private sector, to find capital for energy efficiency and clean energy projects and programs.

Speakers will include representatives from DOE, as well as:

- U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
- Small Business Administration (SBA)
- State of New York

This webinar will discuss Combined Heat and Power (CHP), also known as cogeneration, which refers to the simultaneous production of electricity and heat with distributed power-generation systems. Technical expert Michael Penev, a senior engineer for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, will provide an overview of CHP technologies commercially available today and offer implementation considerations for state-owned facilities. Dr. Dana Levy of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), will share NYSERDA's experience and lessons learned from deploying 100 CHP projects over the last 10 years. Dr. Levy will highlight three highly replicable CHP projects (a school, a multifamily building, and a hotel), and will showcase how the NYSERDA model helps New York expedite planning and procurement for CHP projects, and how states can share approved vendor resources. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions of the presenters to gain additional insight into implementing CHP projects.

Partner with energy and water utilities to promote and expand energy efficiency programs.

Adopt policies and programs to lower transportation energy use through location-efficient development and improved access to additional travel mode choices.

"Cities are laboratories of innovation for energy-saving solutions that directly benefit people where they live, work, and play," said Eric Mackres, ACEEE's local policy manager and the report's lead author. "Local governments have great influence over energy use in their communities and many have initiatives that result in significant energy and cost savings."
